I am very exciting! Tonight is the evening that the simultaneous RL – SL event will take place. The schedule was tight and still preparations are made, but you can be sure you will see a fantastic show this night! You simply have to be there. Read more about the show and invite in the published press release by GIA.

GLANCE International Agency, SL’s premiere fashion marketing and public relations agency announced today that it will proudly host “Hurly Burly”, an exciting event fusionning real life and second life fashion.

On Thursday, April 8th at 3.30 PM SLT, GIA will produce a virtual fashion show simultaneously with the real life show organized by JenJen PR, a fashion public relations agency based in Amsterdam. The real world show will be hosted in Club NL (www.clubnl.nl) with the presence of DJ Johnny De Mol and Fady Ferraye. It will introduce on the runway the much anticipated clothing collection of Folter, a dutch american brand. On the virtual catwalk, GIA Top Models will present singularly the flirty line of Convoitise by Toume Yao.

The event will happen on a carefully built runway, similar to the Amsterdam’s hype nightclub. Audience will be able to enjoy the virtual show LIVE and the real world show streamed, both on Glance sim.

“Hurly Burly” is sponsored by DX Exchange and planned in collaboration with Connie Molinaro who built this breathtaking stage specifically for the event.

Join us for a night of glamour, celebrating the union of both worlds’ fashion industries.

I was living a kind of lazy housewife life for a long time… until last Saturday. I received an email from Jennifer Delano of JenJenPR, asking me of I was willing to join the organisation of a simultaneous reallife – Secondlife fashion show. This time the event will take place in the hot and steamy Club NL in Amsterdam during a party of the über cute Johnny de Mol! I shifted some dust away from my housewife life and said yes! Of course I want!

Because EFA is not able to host this event for now, I was glad that Patty Cortes, Glance International Agency, was very enthusiastic and willing to take the challenge with me to turn this RL-SL event, like First Fusion, Syntopia and EFA-AIFW2009, into an unforgetable experience. Together with her spirit, the designs of Convoitise and our experience with RL-SL events we will present you a party that can not be missed!

Just because it’s getting colder outside, doesn’t mean that you can’t continue to look hot. Keeping this in mind, I did a little shopping for a sexy fall look and this is what I came up with.

There really are not many things that look hotter than leather and this lovely ensemble proves it. The Black leather jacket is a new release from COCO and features amazing detail and sleek lines that give it a tailored fashion forward look. The top, from Plastik, is actually the top of a mini dress called Shredder and provides just enough edge to make this ensemble perfect for clubwear.

We all have a few. I mean, there’s no way I could just come up with one single name, you probably can’t either. There’s probably at least two or three that pop up off the top of your head. Give it a couple more seconds and you could probably come up with four or five more. I could wait even longer and wait for you to scroll through your inventory and you’d probably see a few names that you’d totally forgotten about.

So, there’s a list. Call it a personal ‘best of’. Call it the ‘shortlist’. If it’s a round number you could even name it something like My Personal Top Ten. This is your list, remember, name it what you want. Oh, and forget those so-called ‘official’ lists, they’re irrelevent. You’re the one spending your $L after all, right?

Since I was a very young girl I have always loved the elegance of vintage clothing. Neferia Abel, owner and designer of Ivalde Designs has been bringing that elegance into Second Life for awhile now. Neferia has truly set the bar high with the great attention to detail, lush beautiful textures of clothing & don’t get me started on the delicious skins. Knowing the quality of her work I got really excited when I found out through EFA’s Tiffany Dragonash that Neferia had decided to expand and work on new more modern designs perfect for every woman with a totally new brand, “L’Abel. ” Slipping on these new masterpieces I am in awe! They were everything I imagined and more, sexy, sophisticated, and just simple knock down beautiful. I got to chat with Neferia and she is a sweet person and I am so happy to have met her.

Temperance Moonites: What’s in store for L’Abel and is there anything exciting coming up you would like us to know about?

Neferia Abel: I have a few exciting projects in the works! I will be redesigning the store next week, giving it a more updated, fresh appearance. I’m also going to start designing more contemporary clothing, giving as much attention to design there as I do to my other lines.

On January 31, 2009 there will be a Grand Opening of a new fashion sim, Elf Fala Lands. In celebration of the new sim there will be a runway show starting at 12:00 p.m. SLT, featuring three designers, Nardcotix, Phoenix Rising and Chloe. You can check out some of their sneak peeks and designs at their website here. Two out of the three very talented designers, Nardya Rouselot and Ashoka Eales, will be making their runway debut together!

It can be very expensive to stay ahead of the fashion trends in Second Life™. Most month’s I spend around $5000 Linden or more on skin, hair, shoes, clothing, and accessories. That doesn’t mean that I don’t love a wonderful store freebie, group gift, or hunt find. Those freebies can spruce up your wardrobe when your wallet has nothing but lint in it.

Pixeldolls is one of the best kept secrets in SL™, and their subscrib-o-matic is a gift giving MACHINE, granting about a gift per week. Aoharu even has a 50% sale through January 17th, Tuli has released new Meredith make-ups and is giving one away free in the store, and LeLutka (MMS) has a group gift if you join now.

S.N.O.B is The glamourous night for the fabulous, the rich and the seriously vain. Good music, great crowd, amazing atmosphere. Come dance, feel hedonistic, shake your money-maker and mingle amongst the beautiful people.
